Heathrow is Europe’s busiest airport again but warns of uncertain winter
Heathrow Airport warned of an uncertain winter season just as it regained top spot as Europe’s busiest hub
Although the peak Christmas period will be busy, the overall outlook is uncertain, with higher household bills dampening demand.
It handled 5.8 million passengers during September, which is 15% below 2019
That was more than Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt and Madrid.
The airport handled more passengers than other European hub airport between July and September.
Heathrow capped passenger numbers at 100,000 a day due to labour shortages, which is due to be removed in late October.
Heathrow said the passenger cap helped to balance out supply and demand to more manageable levels reducing last-minute cancellations
“Heathrow has grown more in the past 12 months than any airport in Europe and we’ve delivered a great passenger experience to the vast majority of travellers,” said Heathrow CEO John Holland-Kaye.
“While we face many economic headwinds our aim is to get back to full capacity as soon as possible.”
